What Qualifies as a Cattle Emergency?
Cattle emergencies can escalate quickly and require experienced, decisive care. If you notice any of the following issues, contact us right away:
-
Calving Difficulties (Dystocia): Prolonged or unproductive labor, especially in heifers, requires immediate veterinary assistance to protect both cow and calf.
-
Down Cows: Inability to rise may indicate metabolic disorders, injuries, or neurological conditions. Early intervention is critical for a positive outcome.
-
Bloat: Abdominal distention, discomfort, and labored breathing can be life-threatening if not treated quickly.
-
Severe Lameness or Injury: Open wounds, fractures, or signs of extreme pain should be evaluated immediately.
-
Sudden Illness or Collapse: If an animal is lethargic, unresponsive, or showing signs of shock or respiratory distress, prompt action is essential.
-
Prolapses or Retained Placentas: These require skilled treatment to minimize pain, infection risk, and reproductive complications.
When in doubt, it’s always best to err on the side of caution. If something seems off with one of your animals, give us a call at (573) 243-3916.
